Conservative Values, Politics
Radio comedian Rush Limbaugh got his money’s worth by hiring attorney Roy Black. After a three year investigation into Limbaugh’s addiction to barbituates, Black struck a plea bargain with Palm Beach, Florida, authorities. Limbaugh essentially gets off with a slap on the wrist. He has to pay a fine and go to rehab for 18 months and then his record will be cleared.
This would have never happened to a regular person, of course — mainly because most people wouldn’t be able to afford to buy downers at the volume Limbaugh did.
Update: There’s a web poll up at the Palm Beach Post that asks, “Did Rush Limbaugh get off too easily?” The poll is being freeped so that “No” is leading handily. If you have a moment for anti-freeping, go there and vote “yes.”

Right on the money, Jon. Rush walks in, pleads not guilty, pays his fine, gets his booking, arraignment, trial and sentencing in 60 minutes and a promise that everything will be expunged from his record if he goes to a doctor of his own choosing. Drive-by justice.
Unbelieveable. If he were a poor black or Hispanic man, he would be looking at five to ten in the state penitentiary.
And his moronic followers have the rehearsed line to use on liberals that “Rush accidentally got addicted to prescription painkillers, like millions of Americans”.
The problem with that fairy tale is they weren’t his prescriptions….
What a worthless piece of crap this man is.
Hey Stephen, can’t you articulate your viewpoints without insulting millions of others who might just happen to disagree with you? Or is the singular benchmark of one’s intelligence defined, in your world, by the extent to which they share your political point of view? I suspect your post would have been quite a bit less vitriolic and bitter if you agreed with Rush’s politics. Get over it.
Ditto heads can read and write! Who knew?
